public interface CacheEntry
extends Serializable

A cached instance of a persistent class

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	areLazyPropertiesUnfetched() Does the represented data contain any un-fetched attribute values?
Serializable[]	getDisassembledState() Get the underlying disassembled state todo : this was added to support initializing an entity's EntityEntry snapshot during reattach; this should be refactored to instead expose a method to assemble a EntityEntry based on this state for return.
String	getSubclass() Hibernate stores all entries pertaining to a given entity hierarchy in a single region.
Object	getVersion() Retrieves the version (optimistic locking) associated with this cache entry.
boolean	isReferenceEntry() Does this entry represent a direct entity reference (rather than disassembled state)?

Method Detail

isReferenceEntry

boolean isReferenceEntry()

Does this entry represent a direct entity reference (rather than disassembled state)?

Returns:

true/false

getSubclass

String getSubclass()

Hibernate stores all entries pertaining to a given entity hierarchy in a single region. This attribute tells us the specific entity type represented by the cached data.

Returns:

The entry's exact entity type.

getVersion

Object getVersion()

Retrieves the version (optimistic locking) associated with this cache entry.

Returns:

The version of the entity represented by this entry

areLazyPropertiesUnfetched

boolean areLazyPropertiesUnfetched()

Does the represented data contain any un-fetched attribute values?

Returns:

true/false

getDisassembledState

Serializable[] getDisassembledState()

Get the underlying disassembled state todo : this was added to support initializing an entity's EntityEntry snapshot during reattach; this should be refactored to instead expose a method to assemble a EntityEntry based on this state for return.

Returns:

The disassembled state
